The Cedi-Dollar exchange rate influences the strength and growth of the local economy.
Per the Cedi to USD dollar exchange rate quoted by Afriswap Forex Burea, the dollar is selling at GHS 13.25 while the buying rate is pegged at GHS 12.95. The cedi is weakening by the day against the dollar, pound, and euro, which negatively affects the local economy.
Within the Ghana currency exchange, the continuous depreciation of the cedi against the dollar can be attributed to the continuous poor economic outlook for Ghana and the country’s inability to honour its debt obligations, which continue to increase.
The continuous weakening of the cedi means imports are becoming more expensive by the day, and since most consumable and capital goods are imported, the prices of these goods will continue to increase, creating high inflation within the local economy. This can negatively impact local manufacturing companies since they rely on the import of essential raw materials and capital for production.
The cedi to USD has continued a downward trend in favour of the US dollar for many months, making it difficult for the cedi to maintain any stability when it makes slight gains.
